The Peace Project

PEACE CENTER

Tabunok, Bantayan Island, Philippines

The Peace Center is the next phase of our rebuilding of Tabunok on Bantayan Island, an area where 65% of the homes were destroyed by Typhoon Haiyan. The construction of 40 homes was recently completed.

The Peace Center will serve as the epicenter of this community's transformation -- from it a cooperative will offer reduced-priced staple goods, a weekly market will take place selling the organic vegetables that are already being grown in the community, vocational training will be brought into the community, the center will host arts and cultural programs, and micro-lending will begin -- all designed to turn a terrible tragedy into an enormous opportunity for abundance and prosperity.

We're seeking $15,000 to build The Peace Center in late March 2015 -- completion date is four weeks after construction begins.

CURRENT INITIATIVES

Operation rise

On September 21, 2011, World Peace Day, The Peace Project implemented one of the most dramatic social efforts in recent history by distributing 10,000 pairs of crutches and repair parts across the country of Sierra Leone. We're still getting crutches out to people in the most remote areas. Donate $25 now and change someone's life forever.

Family to Family

On November 8th, 2013, Typhoon Yolanda devastated much of the Philippines. Now, families around the world are invited to join hands with The Peace Project to help rebuild the Philippines one house, one family, and one community at a time. The Peace Project plans to build 200 houses on Bantayan Island in the next six months.

PEACE TIPS

While planning The Peace Project's massive 2011 crutch distribution, we identified that getting crutches to those in need is just the first step and providing the resources to maintain the crutches is a critical follow-on, thus the "Peace Tip" which features a peace sign where the rubber, literally, meets the road, was created.
